Blossom Artistry provided flowers for an October wedding at the Carolina Inn.

The bouquets waiting for the bride and her bridesmaids.

The bride said:

LOVE, love, loved the flowers at the wedding — from the bouquets, to the table arrangements and the candles, it looked exactly as I imagined, and better!! Thank you so much for everything you did to make it so beautiful!

We had such a great time meeting brides and couples at the 18th Annual Bridal Showcase at the Carolina Inn! It’s a wonderful show, close to home, not so large it’s overwhelming, and held in a beautiful venue.
These are a few of the bouquets, pomanders, and centerpieces we displayed at the Showcase:

Roses, hydrangeas, orchids, and tulips in a bouquet.

Yellow roses and hydrangeas.

Dendrobium orchids, with hydrangea, tulips, and roses.

Centerpiece for a gift or card table, with orchids, lilies of the valley, moss, vines, and ribbon.

Look for tickets to go on sale at the Carolina Inn website in very early January for the 2014 event, held on the last Sunday in January. (The event is free to brides who book their wedding reception at the Inn.)

Amanda was married at Shady Wagon Farm in New Hill, NC, in the fall. She chose gerbera daisies and sunflowers, and dressed the pergola over the lake with vines, daisies, sunflowers, and hanging vases. The flower girls carried pomanders of freesia and ribbon.
